Once again leading marksman Aroydy Branford was Guyana’s hero as he lashed in both goals in the 12th and 51st minutes respectively to guarantee the Guyanese stickmen a place in the final four where they await the winner which is most likely to be Venezuela on Friday.
The Guyanese took the lead in the 12th minute through a field goal from Branford and enjoyed a 1-0 lead at the half. However, the Brazilians responded in quick succession after the break when Vehrle-Smith Stephane scored a penalty corner, before Paixao Lucas netted in similar fashion one minute later to give them a 2-1 advantage.
Bradford, who is among the top goal scorers in the tournament, was again to the rescue of the Guyanese when he pierced the goalkeeper with a penalty shot as the scores remained leveled when the final whistle sounded.
